Derbyshire Constabulary: Ellie-Mae Doherty — 11 months’ imprisonment
As published · Ellie-Mae Doherty
Finding: Admitted. Sentenced. Outcome: 11 months’ imprisonment. Likely barred from policing.
Ellie-Mae Doherty, a Derbyshire call handler, was sentenced to 11 months in prison for misconduct in public office after passing police information to a man linked to crime.
This is a criminal sentence. The IOPC published it on 3 September 2026.
Ellie-Mae Doherty worked as a call handler for Derbyshire Constabulary. She was sentenced on 3 September 2026 to 11 months’ imprisonment for misconduct in public office. The IOPC said she admitted passing sensitive information from police systems to a man linked to crime, including that an associate had been arrested, and that she did not tell the force about a personal association with him.
The IOPC said some of the information was supplied within a few months of her joining the force. It said she is likely to be barred from working in policing again. A completed police misconduct hearing outcome, as a separate disciplinary disposal, is not set out in the notice beyond that bar.
No appeal is stated.
